We teamed up with food-focused multi-disciplinary business Foodsync, to host the first Stockport Food and Drink Awards which was held on Wednesday 20th June at Robinsons Brewery. The awards followed the first ever Stockport Food & Drink Trade Show which was held at Stockport Market place during the day.

The after show party and awards gave guests the opportunity to carry on conversations with new contacts, and an opportunity to try tasters from various food and drink retailers from Stockport, including La Cantina, Where the Light get In, Angkor Soul, Tarsier Gin and Robinsons Brewery. The evening featured some informal awards to celebrate the successes of food and drink retailers and suppliers within and around the Stockport area.
